My suggestion would be to search out charitable organizations, particularly national ones who have a chapter in Toledo. Private school fundraisers are great because all the parents want what one person has won!
Last November I walked through the Bay Village preschool PTA annual tour of centennial homes, all decorated for Christmas. Vendors from the area offer food, drink, they decorate the walls, put up the trees and Christmas regalia (sp?). I contacted them and they are very happy to have me do a portrait for one home and then it will hang on their wall and some of my other work with hang throughout the house. Hundreds of people walk through these home, it is a very popular home tour on the west side of Cleveland. See if there is something like that in Toledo.
Back to the easel
Happy Painting!
